Let that soak in.  Jay bilas had James young at pick 8 or 9 about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Better than Wiggins? Even Danny doesn't agree with you on that.

Heck, even if you consider Wiggins a small forward and Marcus Smart a point guard, I'd take Nik Stauskas any day over James Young.  And based on Bilas' best available list the scrolled across the screen last night, he'd agree.

I would not take Stauskus over Young. Stauskus may be a better player NOW, but his ceiling isn't very high. James Young isn't even 19 yet and has much better natural tools to be a better player

Grain of salt is not so bad.

I think he his physically.  Supposedly he was still growing last year (hopefully he still is) and he really hasn't filled out yet.

I didn't realize he was still 18...that is VERY young...imagine if he grew another inch or two and start filling up that frame and keep developing that skill set

I would love to see Stauskas and Smart paired up.  Their games compliment each other very well.  I thought something may be up when the Kings drafted Stauskas as I can't see how they can give both him and McLemore enough minutes as they are both true shooting guards.

Probably have them compete for minutes. Loser plays backup.
